Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in rainbow sprinkles and crushed Oreo cookies using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan, then cut into 16 equal squares.
- Serve and enjoy your Oreo Funfetti Cookie Bars at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened (not melted) for the perfect cookie bar texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense bars instead of soft, tender ones.
- For extra visual appeal, reserve a few Oreo pieces and sprinkles to sprinkle on top of the batter before baking.
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation into the batter.
- Check your bars a few minutes early - every oven is slightly different, and you want to catch them when they're just set.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting to get clean, perfect squares.
- For an extra indulgent twist, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled bars before serving.
